The Funeral for my Friend's son

Tweet

As some of myLot friend's know that one of my friend's here in my town lost her grown son. He died last week from blood clots in the lungs. It is so sad that a young man had to die and a mother has lost her son. Well let me tell you I will not be going to the memorial or funeral which ever it will be. The body will be cremated and will be shipped from Fort Bragg CA to Manteca CA. There they will bury him or have some type of get together I am not not sure which. The man who died had one brother who he lived with before he got ill and he gave all his money to. He worked two jobs which he made less than 10 dollar per hour. He lived with his older brother and gave his whole pay check or most of his pay check to his older brother for room and board. When he got sick all's the older brother was worried about was where was he going to get the extra money the younger brother was paying him. Now the young man had two sisters, one who is older and she has been living on her own and has not had much to do with the family for years. Then he had a younger sister with three kids. When the young man would have any days off he was staying with his younger sister and her husband baby sitting her kids. He did so much for his younger sister and her husband. When he got ill the younger sister let him come and live in a "Grandmothers" home on their property. He was not allowed to come into her home or call her unless it was an emergency. He was allowed to come into their home to get the kids off to school and then watch them when they got home from school but other times he could not go into the house. This is a man who was very ill with chronic blood clots in his lungs and on oxygen all the time. When he needed to go to the hospital he had to call the ambulance and be taken by him self and his sister was not to be disturbed. He also had to hand over his social security check. He loved his sister and the kids. The nieces and nephew are 8 and younger. This is what absolutely kills me. When he died the younger sister told her three kids who was baby sat by uncle and they loved him, that he died and he went straight to burn in HE77 because he did not go to church. Now what a thing to say to three little children. Who knows what happens at the time of death between a person and our lord. Didn't Jesus die on the cross for our sins and when he was on the cross he asked the others on the cross beside him if they wanted to repent their sins and they would be saved. What a thing to say to three little children and scare them to death. I am afraid these children are going to feel so bad for their uncle and feel so bad if they ever sin from now on. This is to long to go into what is happening for the funeral. I will have to start another discussion on all that dysfunction. Now my question is do you think it is right to tell children that a person is burning in hell for their sins? Do you think it will scar these children for life? I feel it is bad enough they lost their beloved brother but then their mother telling them that.
